To the right, a bronze statue of King Waza sits on top of a 72 foot high Corinthian column to celebrate the move of the Polish capital from Krakow to Warsaw in the late 1500's. At the time that it was built, the monument was the grandest in Europe but today, it is eclipsed by a mere Christmas tree.
Times certainly do change. I wonder if King Waza is rolling over in his crypt over the whole state of affairs.
